Lefties claiming to be righties

Here is an interesting article clip:

" Throughout recorded history, the left has also been associated with the female and often, by further association, with the weak and the passive. Because right-handedness has always been so prevalent and so dominant, it has automatically become associated in many cultures with strength, power and activeness, traditionally masculine traits. The left, by default, therefore became the side of femininity, weakness and passivity."

In old English, Left was actually "lyft", which meant weak, foolish, lameness, and worthless. There is also the thing about having two left feet, which means you are clumsy, right? There is a lot implied when we talk about lefties, considering all the history and meanings behind this word. Did you know that in many cultures, children are forced to use their right hands? Even in Sweden where Islam is taking over, doing something with your left hand means to do something badly, and the word left translates to cheating or adultery.
That explains the “left-right” political metaphor. In the French Constituent Assembly, the favorites of the royal family were given pride of place by being seated on the far right, while those who favored the common people over the royal interest were spurned by being put on the left. Ever since, “right” has meant supportive of entrenched interests and “left” has meant supportive of liberation.

Here in the real world, leftists have always been forthright about being leftists. “The communists disdain to conceal their views and aims,” for example. Right-wingers, especially the fascist-minded; have concealed their aim of repression by posing as “neither left nor right.” You may well find that people who self-describe as right-wing disagree with you. This is NOT because they are secret leftists but because they are either slightly to your left (but still very right-wing) or they are principled right-wingers who find your loyalty to a statist demagogue abhorrent to their libertarianism, constitutionalist conservatism, and patriotism.

From the article I posted above in post 21, this might explain why lefties are always promoting queer lifestyle:

"A relationship between handedness and sexual orientation - specifically that homosexuals are more likely to be left-handed than heterosexuals - has been proposed by several researchers over the years. In fact, the idea goes back to a hypothesis of Sigmund Freud at the end of the 19th Century or, more accurately, to his disciples Wilhelm Stekel and Wilhelm Fliess, whose less-than-scientific assertions struck a chord with many chauvinists.

A link between homosexuality and left-handedness perhaps suggested itself due to a series of striking (although quite likely coincidental) similarities, both statistical and qualitative, between the two phenomena. For example, both affect around 10% of the population (at least according to some measurements); both describe positions on a continuum rather than an all-or-nothing proposition; both are difficult to define and measure; both lack an obvious evolutionary advantage; and both have mysteriously persisted, and even prospered, even in the face of persecution. Interestingly, “left-handed” was American slang for homosexual for much of the 20th Century."

Persistent thread derailing is cheating.

You will NEVER be revealing where on the line you are, other than that you don't claim to be pure lefty. The part of you that won't own up to revealing where you stand comes from your lefty instinct to stay in the shadows. Hiding is as natural to lefties as any other kind of cheating or evasion.
This whole “left vs right” paradigm is a bunch of bullshit which has been devised by those who are using the age old Machiavellian tactic known as divide and conquer. Pit the general population against each other then steal from all of them while they bicker amongst themselves over petty bullshit issues. Wake up and smell the coffee champ. Instead of going through life with your head up your ass trying to prove how far right you are and that those evil leftists are pissing in your corn flakes, get a fvcking grip.

This thread isn't about lefties vs righties, it isn't about how lefties can't respond to opening post topics, and it isn't about how much lefties have to evade rather than discuss topics. This thread is about how lefties try to claim being further right than they really are. They do this. I suggested that it is because they want the credibility and respect that righties command, perhaps you have a better idea of why they do this. If you want to join the thread topic, post why lefties claim to be further right than they are.

Sounds like you are promoting the notion that lefties do no actually try to claim being further right than they really are, and that it is righties who attempt to conceal what they really are. While this classic lefty attempt to invert the premise of the thread is fallacy, ten points go to you for your efforts and a well written post. I've seen you admit being way left, you are an exception. Ask @PhilFish what he is, and you may get a better idea of what's going on.

I'm going to hijack a word that I recently saw @Zam-Zam use in a classy way on another thread about vaque comments:

"Strawberries"
i yield. we'll play your way.

Sounds like you are promoting the notion that you do not actually try to claim being less deliberately insulting than you really are, and that it is you who attempt to conceal what you really are doing. While this classic attempt to invert the premise of insulting in a thread is fallacy, ten points go to you for your efforts and a well written vagary of insult. I've seen you admit being way innocent, you are not an exception. Ask @formerposters what they think, and you may get a better idea of what's about to be going on.


personal attack. threadban.
